Happy Sons day

 Well, I thought National Son's Day was in the Spring, so I am a day late giving a shout out to my two boys, Darren Holsapple and (Preston) Alexander Preston Phillips . You two are just the best! You have both accomplished so much, grew up to be wonderful dad's and are each awesome in your own special way. I love you both so much and love being your mom!

Happy daughter's day to my beautiful daughter, Shelley Yandell . So proud of all you have accomplished and your joyful outlook on life you always spread wherever you go. Love you so much!\


 

new Halloween items

 OK, I 'm tired of making potion bottles for now. This is the last of them. I made this spell book, took it up to Country Creek Treasures, put it on a shelf, walked to the back of the store, came back and it was sold...! Also every steampunk item I made and almost all top hats have been sold. I need to get busy, but here I sit outside watching the hummingbirds!

Cedarhurst Art and Craft fair's last season

 

I went with my friends, Teresa Dalton and Brenda Schmeider to the final year of the Cedarhurst Art and craft fair today. I have been coming to this fair since I was in my 30's. It was kind of a bittersweet day. We had a good time though. It's the end of an era after 48 years. I have so many great memories of this event with many friends. Tomorrow is the last day if any of you are planning on going.
